Like I have said in years past when asked where in Colorado would I like to wheel....my answer has always been a simple yes. Just tell me when and where to meet everyone and we'll be there. Plus we plan on spending at least 4 days in camp next year. My business meetings in Indy have always had me leaving camp early. We'll we have changed those dates to July 8 & 9, 2011 so I don't have to rush back.
Unless we have camp Commander on July 4-10!Originally Posted by Tymac
Any holiday weekend is very hard for me to get time off. While I have ten years of senority, in my current assignment I am (thanks to 100 layoffs) one of the junior guys. This means getting vacation on or around a holiday is next to impossible. Same thing for my wife.
Also holidays tend to be higher rates and less flexibility on reservations due to demand. I would also expect more traffic on the trails.
Mid to late July or early August would take my vote.
Northern Colorado, Georgetown as El Cid put forward, would be some closer and offer different opportunities for side trips. Both plusses in my book.
The best things in life can not be found on a map; they can only be found while Wandering.

It looks like the Full Size Jeep Club & FJ Summit are both looking at July 20th - July 22nd so if we go to Silverton we need to go during any other time frame.
Or we could mount twin 60's on the roof of our Commanders and challenge the FJ's to a duel in the mountains.

It always seems like I can not commit. And I dont know that we will make it this year since we have another vacation planned with another couple to Vegas. but there is always a chance....so i will keep checking in on this thread.
I love Silverton, but seeing new places is always much of the reason we take vacations. If there are good trails in other parts of colorado it could be good to see new stuff. My only reason for Going to silverton is to someday finish Poukeepsie.......but thats a long drive for half of a trail.....other wise, I would want to get some new trail stickers for my side window, i have all the silverton ones.
I know that Georgetown is a cool place, as El Cid mentioned, if there are plenty of trails around there, it could be an option.
